And I must admit, I myself am not a huge follower of any particular religion, but some of the things you are saying is just pure disrespect to others. People have different beliefs than you do... get over it. However, I'm not in any way giving approval for this topic to be on a meteorite list, but I don't find it too difficult to use the "delete" tab, do you? It's a free country.. and sometimes that freedom tends to spill into inappropriate places and/or situations. A true American learns to deal with it like an adult, yet some people don't, or choose not to. I guess this whole thing about getting along with others just too hard for some people to comprehend.

Sickened, more accurately, by the Papal buttox-kissing being done on the list by one or two members. More specificly, I'm sickened by the insisting that his "dear Pope" is the biggest meteorite collecter in the world, which was just an IDIOTIC statement. Because not only is the Vatican collection not even close to the world's largest, the collection wasn't made by any individual, especially by "dear" Mr. Rat-slinger. It is, according to this list http://www.jensenmeteorites.com/meteorite-collections.htm the 20th largest institutional collection. And also idiotic to make a special point to make OFF-TOPIC (and, yes, I realize how hypocritical it is saying that, this being off-topic, too) posts about the death of the old Pope and the election of the new Pope. Setting aside for the moment the fact that not everone on this list is a member the Pope worship cult, and that the deaths and elections of Popes aren't meteorite related-- concider this-- isn't the purpose of this list to share information related to meteorites THAT YOU MIGHT NOT RUN ACROSS OTHERWISE? In other words, information that you might end up missing if it wasn't provided to the list by other members of the list? Given that, what is the point of making off-topic posts to announce what is one of the biggest news stories of the past few years, that you could not POSSIBLY miss if you were to pick up any newspaper or turn on any television. Is it really likely that people might not notice this whole Pope thing if he hadn't been so kind as to provide this off-topic information to the list? ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list_at_meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list Received on Wed 20 Apr 2005 11:08:58 PM PDT |
